A pretty large percentage of 47's I've seen that were used for ag work had tailboom strikes at some point - the usual story was an autorotation to a soft field with some groundspeed & the pilot using a bunch of aft cyclic after touchdown. 99% of the time the maintenance logs would never show any trace of the incident or repairs though...
